is why you should care. the world's chemical watchdog said deadlines for the elimination of syria's chemical arsenal but what country will host the destruction of the. paycheck. to prison for the next ten years during the time truth. gets a decade behind bars for leaking private security documents but there are claims he was led to do so by the f.b.i. . and that there may be no homecoming for evacuees as the authorities come under pressure to admit the areas around the crippled nuclear plant may never become say. the average level. only with one exception. right now. people are currently living.

we report on how the radiation scare people in the nearby towns declared by the authorities. and broadcasting. to have you with us now according to the chemical weapons watchdog reported excuse me newly adopted framework the most toxic arms in syria's arsenal are to be taken out of the country by the end of the year but the debate continues over what nation should host the destruction of the more than one thousand tons of highly poisonous materials so far it looks unlikely that there are going to be any volunteers as our middle east correspondent reports the organization of chemical weapons has. road map for the removal and the destruction

of syria's chemical weapons the problem though is that they were banking on albania to take these weapons in and albania has since indicated that it will not be party to this this decision in this announcement by albania came as a shock to the united states and the european union albanian is seen as a very strong partner with a so-called unshakeable alliance to the waste it is also a very poor country but there were wide scale protests in albania with people saying that they refuse to allow their government to be party to taking in the weapons from syria now the problem is that only a norway also indicated that it would not allow these weapons to be brought to shore no way however saying that it will send a ship that will help with transferring the weapons to wherever they are taken but this is the problem it's not yet clear where in fact they will be taken and the latest word from the united states is that it has other options on the table but no indication as to what these options off this is a very ambitious timeframe that has been stated by the organization for the

prohibition of chemical weapons it says that by the end of march next year most of syria's chemical weapons will have been destroyed and that by the end of june all of them will have been destroyed but again it seems as if it's facing an uphill battle not least of all with the decision as to where in fact to destroy these weapons. france and belgium are among the possible destinations for syria's chemical stockpile foreign affairs journalist robert harness explains why paris would probably have to agree if i asks. the reason why france is a vias candidate is that france has a considerable program running all the time disposing of chemical weapons left over from the second world war which keep being uncovered so they have the technical capacity to deal with the problem there are political reasons why they might not want to get involved because it's a sort of recognition of the bashar al assad government which france is but the last government to want to do so they they may try on wriggle out of it but they

may also be under pressure for the americans to be helpful my guess is that france will say yes because they'll want to look positive the trap for the french apart from the fact that they have here to be recognizing bashar al assad whom they have spent months and years decrying on every possible ground is that says the public may well say that if france minded the sound business in the first place they wouldn't be in this awkward position of now having to be helpful over chemical weapons. now even if it doesn't host of the elimination of syria's syria's chemical weapons the e.u. is still getting involved in the issue a rapid surge in the number of its citizens going to the country to join the ranks of the islamist opposition is sending alarm bells ringing across the continent more and more muslim europeans are promoting jihad duty on social networks as artie's reports. i am french born to french parents my parents are atheist and do not subscribe to any religion praise be to allah who guided me. call

on now calls himself abu abdullah having found islam on the internet in two thousand and nine in this video he's urging muslims to join the fight in syria is younger brother john daniel was persuaded to join up too but he was later killed in aleppo. converted to islam it will save your soul from hellfire. student. organization and this is just one of many such videos online of young europeans calling their peers to arms french and western intelligence services have intensified their warnings and europeans heading to syria to fight nowadays they've noticed not all the extra rise in the number of individuals heading over there but also in the kind of people who are joining the fight they say that more and more they are more committed to the struggle and upon their return to europe there's still no clear cut way to do radicalize these individuals estimates put the number of europeans fighting in syria between five hundred and seven hundred most of whom

are from the u.k. and france and france is the more newspaper quotes of french intelligence sources saying these levels are passive in those seen for afghanistan. many of the media joining the groups. in groups which nobody wants to are true i said to the global jihad rhetoric and share fully the project of many of them will get back in europe much more radical for the french in the memory of the terror attack by frenchman mohamed merah that killed seven people is still fresh fears of a repeat of one radicalized young men returned to france most of those people all native french people traveled to afghanistan and pakistan we were able not to arrest him. said he had been fighting again against

training zero this summer germany's interior minister suggested a temporary ban on fighters returning home belgium on the other hand had been working with turkish authorities to bring their nationals back to a western europe have already been made but there still isn't a one size fits all solution and the terror chief says nor could there be the difficulty for me. determining who's a potential threat and who isn't tesser is still there r t paris. it is likely that the thousands of people who were affected from fukushima neighborhoods won't be able to return to their homes a group of officials are now pressing the government to admit that the costly cleanup that is about to be launched at the nuclear plant won't make areas around it any safer now so far the authorities have been playing down the risks while raising the acceptable radiation levels ideally they should be about one millisieverts per year but tokyo now has the exposure level set at twenty times

more than that now in order to return value is back to their homes in some of the worst affected areas though radiation detectors it now measure around fifty times the recommended amount doctors say that is half way to levels causing cancer and he's likely to travel to the nuclear exclusion zone for us. it's hard to say what gives you a creepier feeling the trail of destruction left by the twenty eleven tsunami all the houses untouched by natural disaster but abandoned after the nuclear accident walking through the deserted streets of the fukushima exclusion zone we can see plenty of both technically we're now well within the goes on we're just ten kilometers from the nuclear power station these houses ravaged by the tsunami twenty eleven still stand here nowhere near to being with stuart you'd be surprised to learn that radiation levels here are in fact lower than in some of the european

cities and this prompted the decision by the japanese government to allow the people to return to their homes. but scientists say that suicidal because radiation migrates and because it exists in hot spots scattered all across the area. in the hot spots there is a huge amount of the radioactive material it's concentrated stored it is almost impossible to find out all the hotspot to. remove all the. material from their houses we actually stumbled upon this process radiated material from personal belongings to contaminated soil is put in plastic bags and buried the radiation meter when brazil even from a considerable distance imagine our surprise when we found similar levels in an area which had never been included in the no go zone. i've traveled through the church noble exclusion zone more than a dozen times and this was probably the scariest episode when we put a radiation meter on the ground in

a layer of loss and it produced more than eight hundred micro wrongs per hour that is forty times more than the normal human radiation level here sixty kilometers something took a shit when you clear parkland the readings are certainly less than that this is close to the average level of the goes down in the channel those zones only with one exception the place where i'm at right now more than ten thousand people are currently living. mrs morey's ono is one of them she bought a radiation meter and now patrols the area looking for hot spots we had after school classes for children at our house but had to close it because of high radiation. in her short life this girl has already got used to seeing a lot of radiation meters just like mrs her mother joined an ngo group of ordinary women united by fear for the future of their children and distrust of the government's actions. we're sending our data to government and tepco officials every day and we get no reply i don't see an action from them as if they're trying

to play down the scale of things meanwhile our children are all. red is suffering from fire at issues. the voice of dissent is now intensifying despite assurances from tepco a spent nuclear fuel rods are removed from reactor four at fukushima dai ichi. we have it under control it's a challenging process but we have the equipment to perform it anti-nuclear protesters in tokyo say no one should be allowed back into the fukushima area until it's completely safe which in truth may not happen for centuries their peak it has just served eight hundred days and they will stay longer they say to force their government into rethinking its nuclear policies. reporting from japan. the man who revealed a very private security firm was spying on human rights groups on behalf of the u.s. government will spend the next decade in prison jeremy hammond has received the maximum possible sentence under a plea deal after hacking into intelligence companies strive for and sending its

internal e-mails to wiki leaks he was originally looking at thirty years in prison because his leaks included customer information and their credit card numbers and never benefited financially from their simply saying his main goal was to let the public know what exactly the government and intelligence companies are doing behind closed doors his lawyer says if that happens case one highlights the fact that more and more people are concerned about state's surveillance. i think he was motivated by his political beliefs his desire for transparency and his desire to highlight what's wrong with the private security industry and with government surveillance i you know i i think that those are deeply held beliefs. in history where a lot of people are standing up and taking the risks the terribly tech this is a growing area of concern and debate and our world is changing as to jeremy's conduct in this case. hemant to says

a hacker known as subu who turned out to be an f.b.i. informant i asked him to target strat for david to semen is an independent journalist who has been following the case he told r.t. that there's no way hammond should be in prison right now if he was a victim of entrapment he was approached by an f.b.i. informant this came out an article in wired magazine this f.b.i. informant is apparently the one who quote unquote cheer lead jeremy into hacking into this organization this f.b.i. informant also allegedly gave them a list of other targets that jeremy should go after and which he did not go after and when c. once he received the information he apparently downloaded it to an f.b.i. controlled server at the request of this f.b.i. informant so if this was basically an f.b.i. operation they should have probably sent him a paycheck and sort of sending him to prison for the next ten years. now caught up in the u.s. spy net europeans are seeing america in a different light in just

a very outspoken critic of al qaeda and thought if you were to be killed that it would actually be by a terrorist a member of al qaeda but as we hear it turned out very differently here at the white house it was. a forty eight hours state of emergency has been announced in the libyan capital of tripoli following two days of violence that left at least forty seven people dead on friday scores were killed when militia men started shooting on peaceful protesters demanding the armed group leave the city. i. since then fighting between rival militias has been on and off in the outskirts of tripoli with some of them raiding a military base government affiliated groups established street patrols and tried to prevent more fighters from entering the capital authorities have failed to disband the militias that are controlling parts of the country defense consultant. says the current government is too weak to succeed in putting an end to the chaos.

the only. kept. nation united was the revolutionary moammar gadhafi so yes the western forces the nato nations the member states saw this coming knew there would be chaos in the country because there are so many different factions in there they can't seem to succeed so they resort to murdering each other they disbanded the military and the civil service there is in effect no. to be played by anyone there is no security yes it's iraq two point zero so that there are all sorts of militias coming from different towns and trying to take control of tripoli but that's obviously leads to clashes and murder of civilians in tripoli. in train carrying oil has exploded in western kansas don after colliding with a fuel truck the crash happened because the vehicle pastoral railway crossing as the train approached one of the drivers was the train was killed while another was

seven he remains very involved in both international and european affairs talk to shoes to thank you very much for talking to us just how damaging has the n.s.a. spying scandal been for e.u. u.s. relations. it effected the public perception more than in the perceptions among politicians everybody who is a professional politician knows that all countries are looking around for information the formation is different than the currency in the political area arena but the public perception was completely different because of the public perception specially in germany is america is our friend and you should never spy on your friend and like what good america you said the guy to me this cannot happen and should not happen is it possible or even healthy for an idea of american exceptionalism to exist in the modern age i don't think that. someone is

exceptional that of course some think they are exceptional but they are not everybody is exceptional or we are equals we are brothers and sisters and you can be larger or you can be more powerful economic alou militarily but at the end we are no longer individual builds on the notion we are on the same ship and we have to steer this same ship we have to find common rules we have to fly and be clear cause for the future this is the important thing and exceptionalism the is a rather dangerous think is a little bit outdated by the way to concept of the nineteenth century and the twenty first century i think we are equals better. well coming up after the break we continue our examination into u.s. police interrogation tactics you watch ninety stay with us.

you know i love these rare moments where action of something totally sounds positive to share with you the f.d.a. is working to ban partially hydrogenated oils which are the leading source of trance fats and foods and possibly the cause of up to twenty thousand heart attacks per year across the usa according to f.d.a. commissioner margaret hamburg as you know i would like the chemicals in my food kept to a minimum but the thing is the people at the f.d.a. are surely aware of all the hormones and beef and gitmo is being produced why does this ban have such a very narrow narrow focus in fact when you look at all the things that americans consume smoke use that to swear health some get the violent band hammer while others are completely tolerated if you ever talk to hardcore marijuana smoker they'll tell you but dude weed is better for you than beer and that's the eagle man

and they kind of have a point i think there is this is one of those rare instances where a balance position isn't really a good idea well the country could go the libertarian route and let it be everything be legal let people make their own choices or do what i think would be much much better actually really ban all the things that are destructive to our health both of these paths have positive and negative effects but they are a lot better than our current plan of ban some harmful things for some reason and a lot other harmful things because well they lobby better but that's just my opinion. the crime is that a viola man voom a seventy four year old woman found dead on the twenty. ninth of november one thousand nine hundred eighty eight along this track. dozens of suspects will be questioned and will be released including frank sterling seen in this photograph.

two years later detectives trained by reed reopen the case and are convinced frank is guilty. a few years earlier his brother had been sentenced to prison for raping. and franks is thought to have wanted revenge. the police are relentless and pressed until he cracks. of july one thousand nine hundred ninety one and exhausted frank sterling admits to the mud his confession is recorded. many years later of a four year old girl is arrested he confesses to the murder of viola manning and traces of his d.n.a. confirm the fact. frank sterling is released on the twenty eighth of april two thousand and ten off to serving nineteen years now age fifty four frank has become

frail and anxious and finds it hard to talk about his feelings. april twenty eighth two thousand and ten the day i get released. the. freedom. for frank sterling obtained his freedom largely due to the vigorous efforts of his lawyer. in the war where the question remains why did he ever confess to a crime he never committed. and beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation because there's been a sad light moment no because a psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse. yes in the case of frank sterling only his confession was filmed but the video speaks for itself.
